# Setting the company's business hours
Alert your customers about business hours so they can stay connected
In the **Settings ->** [**Company**](https://app.jedidesk.com/settings-company) tab, activate the block with the schedule, specify the working days and time:
Business hours
***
Add the message that the client receives when contacting outside of business hours and click the **Save changes** button:
Warning message
{% hint style="danger" %} **Note:** When the conversation in the chat with the client is finished, click on **Close the dialog** button in the upper right corner.
If the manager does not close the dialogue, your customers will not receive messages about the company's non-working hours.
{% endhint %}
Customers receive this message in the following cases:
* At the first request (starting a bot, chat) during non-working hours.
* If the previous appeal was processed and closed by the manager using **Close the dialog** button. (that is, the dialogue is considered inactive, not accepted at the time of the client's contact) and the client contacts you during non-working hours.
